Exceeded Expectations

Would Recommend

Excellent for use even on a farm (though for home use not commercial use) - handles larger and harder wood than I expected.

Just right for us

Would Recommend

We heat with wood cut on our property in a wood stove in the house. It is so easy to just plug it in and stock up on split wood. We are in our 80s and appreciate not having to deal with gas.

Powerful enough to split my logs and make kindling. I'm very happy.

Alaskan fly out splitter

Would Recommend

Small enough for a supercub; yet powerful enough to split any Alaskan timber!

Warranty issue & fabrication of the splitter

The splitter seemed to work ok. But after using it for an hour or so the tray that came with the stand came loose and shifted. Upon investigating why, I found that the welded nub (which has a thread in side of nub) on the splitter was angled higher then the frame screw hole. Because of this, the thread in the nub is stripped and tray will not stay tight. I filled out a warranty claim and its been over 3 weeks and have not heard from the company.
